Reality is: its not about who deserve to play, it's whom BCCI wants to pick....this auction looks like to me a made up drama and public stunt like wrestling... Just look at some of players got picked and their bidding price...

IPL is full of corruption and illegal money...yet many players did not get paid close to what they were suppose to...several players filed suit....another one was ICL....
BCCI shut that one down, they were successful shutting slpl, now they are after BPL...

Well then why on earth would IPL owners spend $2 million on Jadeja? Not even 3 overs he bowled yesterday and conceded 41 runs. Not only this game but in many games this guy was a laughing stock yet this guy is getting $2 million.

True !!! They pay Jadeja $2 million!!! I didn't see him doing something extra ordinary for India !! He might be a good alrounder but getting paid $2m over some of the world's best alrounders (specially Shakib who only managed somewhere around $400,000). That just shows how pathetically biased they are. They didn't buy Tamim even when he was in form !!! Let's hope our BPL becomes successful then our players don't need to wait for this crappy IPL contract !!!

It would actually be better if Shakib and Tamim play in the Friends Provident T20 league which is England's T20 league. Even though there aren't as many stars, but they'll play on much better pitches and it's something different compared to the typical subcontinental pitches you have in India and Bangladesh.

But in order to play there our players have to get county contract right? I don't know how that works. I thought only the county clubs can participate in Friends T20 league ...

Ya it's counties that plays in the Friends Provident T20. Players can just get selected for T20's however. Just like Tamim last year. David Hussey had to join the Aussie squad so he was signed as a replacement. Counties can sign players just to play their T20's. To play FC county cricket, it's much harder because they can just play 1 foreigner in each game.

Hmm that's what I thought. But how would Shakib and Tamim participate in that Friend T20 as none of them has got any county offer yet??

that's their stupidity. that's the major reason i don't like them and IPL. but that's a different story, jadeja sucks but in india they think that he's better than shakib. however, that does NOT change the fact that none of the bd players mentioned have done anything worthwhile to be bought
